If Today Was the Last day (feat. Jason Vasara)

もし今日が最後の日なら (feat. Jason Vasara) (Explicit)

In 2003, a young HOKT shook the scene with his debut single "BACK IN DA 2 DAY".
Many listeners still remember the raw impact and energy it carried.
Despite being released exclusively on CD, the record spread nationwide through word of mouth and the power of the streets.
Now, 22 years later, it finally makes its digital debut-- with the original audio completely untouched.

The digital release is titled "Back in da 2day - Original 2003 Version".

This is not a re-recording, not a remaster.
The 2003 recording, mix, and sound pressure remain 100% intact.
The atmosphere of the era, the heat inside the studio, the youthful aggression, the imperfections that made it real -- none of it has been altered.
It is being released into the streaming era exactly as it existed in 2003.

Featured on the project are
SUIKEN of NITRO MICROPHONE UNDERGROUND, 1-KYU of NCBB, and former member TQ --a lineup that undeniably marks a historic intersection of MCs from the golden era of Japanese HIPHOP.

Producers DJ GO and GM KAZ contributed powerful beats that defined the time --the club energy, the street cyphers, the sound systems in tuned-up cars, and the late-night asphalt of 2003.
22 years later, the intensity of this sound stands out even more vividly.

A CD-only classic, once impossible to hear anywhere else, now returns to the world --preserved exactly as it was, 22 years later.

For those who lived through that era, this release is a resurgence-- a moment of proof.
For new listeners, it serves as a gateway to the roots and foundation of the culture.
A timeless EP, and a true piece of Japanese HIPHOP history.
